Welsh and Celtic Studies is one of the oldest subjects taught at Bangor University, its contribution to the literary and cultural life of Wales has been crucial. Our academic team include some of the most prominent writers and poets in contemporary Wales. Garnering international acclaim, they have won awards including Book of the Year, Prose Medals, Drama Medals, Chairs and Crowns at the Urdd Eisteddfod and National Eisteddfod.
In medieval and early modern history, strengths encompass the Normans and Anglo-Normans, Welsh princes, Tudors, and Stuarts. Our expertise in modern and contemporary history includes nationalism, the labour movement, consumerism, protest, government policy, country houses and estates, gender and colonialism.
Combining the study of both Welsh and History gives you the opportunity to fully immersed yourself in the Welsh language, its history, culture, and society whilst developing professional Welsh skills highly valued by the modern workforce in Wales. You can explore one of Europe’s richest literary cultures, discover the roots of Welsh identity through ancient and modern history, or be inspired by the contemporary politics of a devolved government.

The island of Anglesey is home to the prehistoric burial ground and Neolithic chambered tomb of Bryn Celli Ddu, Caer Gybi, a Roman fort built in the third century, and Beaumaris Castle – the last in the ‘iron ring’ of imposing castles built by Edward I.
